Ingredients
- 1 large Cucumber
- 200 grams Smoked salmon
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 1 medium Avocado
- 4 sheets Nori sheets
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 50 grams Pickled ginger
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi
Directions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the cucumber. Use a vegetable peeler to peel thin, long strips from the cucumber, avoiding seeds. These strips will replace rice in the sushi.
Step 2
Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before use.
Step 3
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and gently spoon out the flesh. Slice into thin strips and set aside.
Step 4
Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese evenly over the nori sheet.
Step 5
Cover the cream cheese with a layer of cucumber strips, ensuring minimal gaps.
Step 6
Place a strip of smoked salmon across the center of the cucumber layer, followed by a line of avocado slices.
Step 7
Firmly but gently, use the bamboo mat to roll the nori, tucking in the filling as you go. Roll into a tight cylinder.
Step 8
Slice the roll into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife. Clean the knife blade with a damp cloth between cuts to maintain clean edges.
Step 9
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.
Step 10
Serve the rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and a small dollop of wasabi on the side.
